Hello,


I'm new to your forum. For a few months now, I've been noticing that there are problems that have been creeping up about every couple of months. Around January the sound system cuts in and out. Sometimes there is sound, sometimes a little, sometimes nothing! I tried the troubleshooter & it could not detect any problem. These speakers are basically new. They came with my last PC, never used them, & now they are being used for the first time. Another issue is the Favorites! Just within the past week, I've noticed that some of my Favorites have disappeared! In a few cases, some of the folders got transferred to another folder! I can't save some sites to Favorites any more. Sometimes I need to save something to Favorites & it won't get saved at all! I tried to "sort them alphabetically", but the option doesn't show up anymore. I like to keep them in order; however, the option doesn't allow this any longer. I don't know what I can do to get things back to normal. Boot up problems have occurred a few times, too! I go to boot up, go to another room, return in 5 or 10 minutes later, & the Dell screen hasn't even come up, yet! My computer is only 2 years old, usually, I have had no problems until I started noticing that it seems to happen about the time updates occur. I really wish that I could prevent updates from being downloaded, but it looks like this can't happen. Naturally, this is a "money thing" for Microsoft, so I'm stuck having to go along with this like the rest of you. The computer repair people will probably make some extra pocket money due to these problems, I'm sure! Before I take this PC in, I'd like to seek out any help I can get to see if I can get these taken care of myself. If anyone has had similar problems & maybe can share them, I'd be interested in hearing from you. If there are any websites out there that would be helpful, please send them my way. I came to this Microsoft site in hopes that maybe they can direct me in the direction I need to go to get help since they are the ones who created Win 10 in the first place! Thanks in advance for any help you send me.

New install Windows 10 (issue solved)

It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

Heres a couple examples:

Here

Here

It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP

• Installation problems with the Fall Creators Update
• Microsoft Edge problems with the Fall Creators Update

Upgrade install from Win-7 32-bit, to Win-10 64-bit Problems...?

Last November I upgraded from Win-7 32-bit, to Win-10 64-bit.
I have been plagued with weird issues..., that mostly were mostly un-fixable by this forum.

Last Tuesday my Windows Updates were Optional, and they took two days to complete.
Should I have done a Clean Install?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BTW?- I've been thinking about upgrading my desktop MBO/CPU, to something faster...- Any suggestions?
Price isn't a problem!
